Disco Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 More chance of them signing me but Lewis Holtby is supposedly on his way out of Spurs and we (allegedly) want a Cabaye type player. Is he a Cabaye type player? Can't imagine him playing that role successfully. From what I've seen he's more of a Tim Cahill with better technique. We've been playing Cabaye in the 10 role and it isn't really working so from what, albeit limited amount, I've seen from Holtby I think he'd be a decent fit there.

Neil Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Think Holtby is a very handy player. I'd like him at Everton if we were interested. That said I think he could be an extremely good fit for you. Seems like you're crying out for someone to naturally link midfield and Remy. Cabaye, IMO, operates best deeper than where a conventional #10 plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yep, Cabaye operates much better from middle of the pitch rather than further up it. I would love to see a younger version of Nolan in that position for us, someone who can win things in the air, hold the ball up and knock a few in by arriving that bit deeper...

Dinho lad Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would settle for Holtby as a Cabaye replacement. Don't think he's unrealistic either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would be a good fit but I think Spurs are asking for too much, which is why he hasn't gone back to Schalke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VanBarduck Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We should go after Gourcuff, he's coming back to his very best. If he can avoid injury, I think we might see the World Class player from his Bordeaux days. 6 goals and 8 assist so far this season. ( And he practically started his season 2 months ago) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

( And he practically started his season 2 months ago) If he can regain his Bordeaux form then he'll be a more than adequate replacement for Cabaye (if he leaves that is). Gourcuff is more of a number 10 than Cabaye mind so it won't exactly be like for like but Gourcuff is creative... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Highest earning Frenchie in Ligue 1 isn't he? Can't see how we will match his wage package. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Would settle for Holtby as a Cabaye replacement. Don't think he's unrealistic either. even has family from Newcastle (last part). Not gonna sign him anyway http://www.thesportreview.com/tsr/2010/02/lewis-holtby-exclusive-interview/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think if we are being realistic then the ONLY realistic transfer targets will be a youth player from somewhere for about £400k. This is going to be the 2nd window in a row where w sign no fker, Joe was never brought in to make deals happen it was the exact opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be the 2nd window in a row where w sign no fker, Joe was never brought in to make deals happen it was the exact opposite. This is basically our transfer policy - Mike "Good luck Joe" Joe - "Cheers Mike" Mike - "Now remember, if they think you're not trying you're in trouble right? The first hint of that and they will think we aren't even going for players, but then again try to hard.." Joe - "We just might sign the fucking player! " Mike - "Exactly" Joe - "Nightmare!"

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Loaning one of Chelsea's numerous attacking midfielders must be a realistic option. Just remind José Mourinho that NUFC have to play Chelsea's rivals for the title and I'm sure he'll happily loan us a top player he isn't playing. Pardew is supposedly friends with José Mourinho too.

Think you are reading too much into the friend thingy. He loaned Lukaku to Everton ahead of us. Getting Kinnear involved would be a whole new different level though. After all, he could make a phone call to anyone in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
